We at Screenzilla Entertainment Ltd., (“Screenzilla”, “we”, “us” or “our”) know you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how Screenzilla collects, protects uses and discloses information and other data that we will collect from you through your use of the various websites, games, applications and products (including in-app purchases) we provide or make available) together with any information, customer service or other related services provided in connection therewith (collectively, the “Products and Services”).
Updated: May 25, 2018
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND REVISIONS
By using or accessing the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information as set forth below.
This Privacy Policy was last changed on the date set forth at the top of the policy. We’re constantly trying to improve the Products and Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, so please periodically revisit this posting to review any revisions to this Privacy Policy. If you use the Products and Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
There are two types of information we may collect through your use of the Products and Services:
“Personal Information” which is information about an identifiable individual (including any “Personal Information” as such term is defined in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Canada or the Personal Information Protection Act, British Columbia). Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, a person’s name, email address, residential address, precise geolocation information (i.e., your specific location), telephone number, payment card information, transaction history, other billing information and, in some cases, user name.
“Non-Personal Information” which is information that does not identify you and cannot be used to contact you personally, including information about you such as your date of birth, age, gender, postal code and non-precise geolocation information (e.g., your city), as well as information about your computer, mobile device, and game system platform such as your unique device ID, or other persistent identifiers, and their hardware/software/firmware. Non-Personal Information also includes “Usage Data” which is anonymous data tied to your computer, mobile device, and/or game system platform, such as the actions you take within and outside of the Products and Services, the browser you use, the identity of other apps included on your device, the date and time of your use of the Products and Services, your game progress, play time, score and achievements, and the URLs you visited and/or apps you used before and after using our Products and Services.
APPLICATION OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy only applies to the information that Screenzilla collects and uses, or is supplied, through the use, access or installation of our Products and Services. Any information disclosed to any third party service providers is dealt with in accordance with the privacy policies adopted by each of those service providers. Individuals are encouraged to review the privacy policies maintained by each of those service providers to understand how their information will be used by those entities to process requests. For example, we partner with third party service providers and vendors to provide access to existing payment gateways and your credit card, banking and other billing information is kept with our payment processor.
The Products and Services may contain links to third party websites (the “Linked Sites”) that are not controlled or operated by Screenzilla. The Linked Sites are maintained by the third parties who have their own privacy policies and their own terms and conditions of use. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of the Linked Sites and Screenzilla is not responsible for any information disclosed by virtue of those Linked Sites or for the privacy practices of any operators or sponsors of the Linked Sites. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as Screenzilla. To determine how your information will be treated when accessing or using the Linked Sites, you must read the privacy policy, if any, that applies to each of the Linked Sites.
PRODUCTS OFFERED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THIRD PARTY(S)
Users may register for other services from our site(s). Certain products and/or services available on our site are provided to you in partnership with third party(s) and may require you to disclose Personal Information in order to register for and access such products and/or services. Such products and/or services shall identify the third party partners at the point of registration. If you elect to register for such products and/or services your Personal Information will be transferred to such third party(s) and will be subject to the privacy policy and practices of such third party(s). We are not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of such third party(s) and, therefore, you should review the privacy practices and policies of such third party(s) prior to providing your Personal Information in connection with such products and/or services.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

1. If you choose to open an account with us, register for a contest, sign up for our newsletter, request support, or in any other way take steps that require the submission of information; we may collect information such as your name, email address, physical address, date of birth, gender and/or phone number.

9. If you choose to submit your information to us for any other reason in any other form, we will collect such information and use it for the purposes for which you submitted it.
10. We will not collect any Personal Information from you simply by virtue of your visiting any of our websites; we only collect it if you choose to submit it to us.

11. We may also collect information, including Personal Information as otherwise permitted by law.
From time to time, Screenzilla may employ third party contractors to collect personal information on our behalf to provide email delivery, product, prize or promotional fulfillment, contest administration, credit card processing, shipping or other services on our sites. When requesting these services, you may be asked to supply your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address and other information to our contractors.

If you do not wish to accept cookies, you have the option of blocking or disabling cookies. However, please be aware that some of our Products and Services will not function properly if you do so and you may lose access to Products and Services you purchased.
In addition, certain third-party advertisers may also make use of cookies in their ads served within our Products and Services. Such cookies may collect anonymous behavioural data which those advertisers may use to serve you targeted ads both within and outside of our Products and Services.
Screenzilla does not collect Personal Information through the use of our Products and Services unless users choose to provide it. If you do not wish to have Screenzilla collect your Personal Information through the use of our Products and Services, you can choose not to provide it.

Currently, Screenzilla or our third party service providers retain and store information collected by, or provided to, us on secure servers in Canada and the United States. As Screenzilla and some of our third party service providers may store information received from users (including Personal Information) outside of Canada, and under the laws of those other jurisdictions, in certain circumstances courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other provinces or foreign jurisdictions may be entitled to access users’ information.
